I was a sophomore/junior in HS when MTV's Two-a-Days aired. I loved that show and loved how they balanced football with the off-the-field lives of the coaching staff and players.
Titletown High attempts to recreate the magic of MTV's TAD - the bring back an entertaining coach in Coach Propst and the creator/producer/director behind the MTV series returns.
However, the issue is that TH focuses about 65-75% of each episode on the private lives of HS students - two relationships in particular. The football focus is interlaced but very minimal - apart from 2 players (a backup QB that takes over the starting job and a second string D-lineman who is as douchey as a high school guy can get) we don't really get to know much about the team or the coaches.
What MTV TAD did so well was balance the football action - focus on a handful of players and player's families (and the relationships of a few of those players) while also showing us what the coaches go through. TH barely shows propst outside of the office or the field and the don't follow any of the other coaches at all. (Which is a shame because a few of those coaches seemed interesting - particularly the Offensive Coordinator/QB coach who seemed to really have a bond with his players)
Because this was filmed in the fall of 2020 I am assuming that COVID impacted how much the crew could work with people. I'm assuming this is why the focused on two players and their relationships so much and not on 5-6 "star" players and the main coaches like MTV TAD.
With the dismissal of Rush Propst from Valdosta State I can't imagine we will get a season 2 of this show - however, I would be interested in seeing what this show would look like without COVID regulations which clearly hampered its production.
Also, Nub is a Jerk that didn't get his way so he torpedoed Coach Propst.
